The Supervisory Board
New (as of March 25, 2025): Elections at the Delegates' Assembly on April 28, 2025
In accordance with the committee adjustments decided at the last Delegates' Assembly in January 2025, no election to the Board is scheduled. The reason for this is that the committee will be reduced by one person.
In principle, this also applies to the Supervisory Board. However, Supervisory Board member Matthias Grupe is resigning from his position for professional reasons at the Delegates' Assembly, so that a by-election for the remaining term of office of three years will take place on April 28. The Supervisory Board has announced that Supervisory Board member Achim Schacke is available for this position. Background: Achim Schacke would resign from the Supervisory Board on April 28, as the agreed reduction in the size of the Supervisory Board means that Achim Schacke's seat will not be filled.
Of course, other people can apply for the vacant Supervisory Board position. The first deadline for applications is March 31. The applications will be published here and sent to the delegates with the invitation. There is also a second deadline for applications for subsequent applications, for which April 21 is the final date for receipt. These applications will also be published here and sent to the delegates afterwards. In accordance with the statutes, applications received after this date cannot be considered.
Current applications for the Supervisory Board position (reduced term of office of 3 years):
Achim Schacke, Wittingen (already a current member of the Supervisory Board, so no need to reapply)
In addition, three people are elected to the Breeding Committee on a rotating basis, with one person each for dressage, show jumping and eventing.
The first deadline for applications is March 31. The applications will be published here and sent to the delegates with the invitation. There is also a second deadline for late applications, for which April 21 is the final date for receipt. These applications will also be published here and sent to the delegates afterwards. In accordance with the statutes, applications received after this date cannot be considered.
Current applications for the breeding committee:
Dressage: Dr. Frederic Bünger, Lamspringe
Showjumping: Oliver Ross, Thedinghausen (already a current member of the breeding committee, therefore no need to reapply)
Eventing: Marco Krüger, Munster
In addition, the delegates' assembly elects the person in charge of Good Governance at the suggestion of the Board.
Current application:
Christina Künneke (already a member of the “Finance, Human Resources, Legal” committee, so no new application letter is required)
Scheduling of the delegates' assembly
In the 01/2025 issue of the members' newspaper DER HANNOVERANER, April 29, 2025 was inadvertently published as the date for the delegates' assembly. However, the correct date is Monday, April 28, 2025. The delegates' assembly begins at 3 p.m. in Verden, Lindhooper Str. 92.
